😴💙 Prioritize Your Child’s Sleep for Better Health

Did you know that quality sleep plays a vital role in your child’s growth, learning, and immune system?

✔ Toddlers need 11–14 hours of sleep per day
✔ School-age children need 9–12 hours per night
✔ Create a consistent bedtime routine
✔ Limit screen time before bed

Good sleep supports better concentration, mood, and overall well-being. Let’s give our children the healthy rest they deserve.

For more child health advice and guidance, consult Dr Chikara — because healthy habits start early. 👩🏽‍⚕️💙

Aim for at least 60 minutes of active play every day.

Active play is powerful medicine for growing bodies. 💜
Children should aim for at least *60 minutes of active play every day* to support healthy growth, strong bones, and happy minds.

Running, cycling, ball games, dancing, or simple outdoor play all count — the goal is to keep kids moving and having fun.

Let’s raise healthy, active children — one playful moment at a time.

🌍 World Cancer Day | 4 February

Cancer does not only affect adults — children can be affected too, and awareness plays a vital role in saving young lives.

I encourage parents and caregivers to be attentive to early warning signs and to seek medical care promptly when something doesn’t feel right. While childhood cancers are rare, early diagnosis greatly improves outcomes.

🧸 Parents, please watch out for:
✔️ Persistent unexplained fever
✔️ Unusual lumps or swelling
✔️ Ongoing fatigue or weight loss
✔️ Frequent infections or unexplained pain
✔️ Changes in appetite or behaviour

On this World Cancer Day, let’s stand together for our children — by staying informed, acting early, and never ignoring concerns.

Early care gives hope. Early action saves lives.

Hygiene & Waterborne Risks in Children 🚿🧼

During the rainy season, children are more exposed to germs, dirty water, and infections — especially after playing outside.

Good hygiene habits can significantly reduce illnesses like diarrhoea, typhoid, and stomach infections.

🖐🏽 Teach children proper handwashing:
✔ Wash hands with soap and clean water
✔ Scrub for at least 20 seconds
✔ Always wash hands:
✔ After playing outside
✔ After using the toilet
✔ Before eating

💧 Safe water matters:
✔ Use treated or boiled water for drinking
✔ Avoid water from open or flooded sources
✔ Store drinking water in clean, covered containers

⚠️ Watch out for warning signs:
✔ Frequent diarrhoea
✔ Vomiting
✔ Fever
✔ Poor appetite

If your child develops symptoms or you’re unsure about water safety, seek medical advice early.

Clean hands and safe water protect our children every day.
